Etymologies

Examples

During the last papal election in 2005, Cardinal Ouellet was regarded by some observers as a "papabile," a candidate for pope, because of his conservatism and command of foreign languages, including Italian, French and English.

To papabile Cardinal Angelo Scola and to a small but growing number of educated Catholics, the most important theological development in the Church over our lifetime has occurred around the theme of "the nuptial mystery."
